The aim of this study was to investigate the applicability of computer-assisted hexapod fixators in dogs and to consider the advantages and disadvantages during implementation.
This was a prospective study. The study material consisted of 11 deformed extremities of 6 dogs. The correction plans were defined according to multiple extremity radiographs of the dog and the clinical evaluation of deformities. All measurements were uploaded to Click2Correct software program. Latent, correction and consolidation periods of each dog were recorded. The hexapod external fixators were removed after completion of the correction.
Data were adapted to the radiographic navigation software to be used during operation and postoperative period. The latent period ranged from 3 to 20 days, the correction period ranged from 7 to 20 days and the consolidation period ranged from 39 to 81 days. It was concluded that special fixators can be used in dogs with complex antebrachial deformities.
The ability to perform six axes correction at the same time has a considerable advantage, especially in dogs with complex antebrachial deformities. It is practical to use this fixation system in dogs with antebrachial deformities.
本研究旨在探讨六足外固定器在犬中的适用性，并在实施过程中考虑其优缺点。
这是一项前瞻性研究。研究材料包括 6 只犬的 11 个变形肢体。根据犬的多肢 X 线片和畸形的临床评估，制定了矫正方案。所有测量值均上传至 Click2Correct 软件程序。记录每只犬的潜伏期、矫正期和巩固期。矫正完成后，拆除六足外固定器。
数据被适配到放射导航软件中，以便在手术中和术后使用。潜伏期为 3 至 20 天，矫正期为 7 至 20 天，巩固期为 39 至 81 天。结论：复杂前肢畸形的犬可以使用特殊的固定器。
同时进行六轴矫正的能力具有相当大的优势，特别是在复杂前肢畸形的犬中。在前肢畸形的犬中使用这种固定系统是实用的。
